I Went to a Chinese Restaurant - Lyrics

A short version:

I went to a Chinese restaurant,
To buy a loaf of bread.
They asked me what my name was,
And this is what I said:
My name is
E.I., E.I.,
Nickelye, Nickelye,
Pom pom poodle,
Willy Willy Whiskers.
My name is:
FREEZE!

A longer version:

I went to a Chinese restaurant,
To buy a load of bread, bread, bread,
And when they asked what my name was,
This’s what I said, said, said:
My name is
E.I., E.I.,
Nicolai, Nicolai,
Poom Poom Noodle,
Willy Willy Whisker,
My name is Elvis Presley,
Boys are messy,
Sitting in a hot tub,
Drinking a Pepsi,
My name is Poke.

Another version:

I went to a Chinese restaurant
To buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread.
They asked me what my name was,
And this is what I said said said:
I'm Choo Choo Charlie,
I know karate!
Oops I'm sorry. I'll call your mommy!
Cheese, Cheese, American Cheese
Don't you stare those eyes at me!
"You Blinked!"
